Surface Water Resources Division

Surface Water Resources Division of the center came into existence in November, 2012. Earlier this division was known as Geophysical Exploration Division followed by Groundwater Exploration Division and for a long time it was located at district head quarter of Jhansi, U.P. This Division was engaged in the field of ground water exploration and management in the region of drought affected and rocky terrain of Bundelkhand, saline affected areas of Agra-Mathura and other parts of U.P. and other states since its inception. In March,1997 , the Division started working as Water Resources Division–I and was engaged in water resources activities mainly in western part of U.P. in the revenue divisions of Agra, Bareilly, Meerut, Moradabad, Saharanpur and Kanpur and also carried out specific projects in the above or other areas of the State. Apart from exploration of groundwater using remote sensing and geophysical techniques, mapping of hydrogeomorphology, geology, waterlogged land, flood monitoring etc. with the use of available onboard Indian remote sensing Satellite (IRS) series and other satellites employing different sensors and Geographical information System (GIS) were the other priority areas of work for the division. The division was also involved in environmental impact assessment, geostatistical modelling, base line data generation, artificial recharge study, Land use/Land cover mapping, Cadastral resources mapping, G P S survey, R & D studies, training programme etc. The division has also participated with the other divisions of the Centre for various integrated study in different projects. Now as newly created Division, this division is engaged mainly in Surface Water Resources activities viz. Flood Inundation Mapping, mapping of surface water bodies and waterlogged areas etc. Projects on Utility Mapping, Integrated Watershed Management Programme, Groundwater Exploration and related studies are also in progress.

Expected Outcome : The project is undergoing and the output will be delivered at the end of project period. It is expected that data generated will be useful in drought/flood preparation and management.
